| We call the fun stuff on this page vocal
puzzles because they are best solved if you say the words out loud. They seem to be
easier to solve if you talk to yourself!!
VOCAL PUZZLES
Solve the puzzles by saying them out loud, over and over, faster
and faster, repeating the phrase, until you "hear" the answer.

Fun Test
Don't cheat and look at the answer first. Try it. It really works.
This one is somewhat surprising. It's not a joke as such, but a nice
demonstration of the faults of the human brain. Follow the exercise as
dictated below.
READ this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not
go back and count them again. Then see answer below...
ANSWER
There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds
three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got
five, you can turn your nose at almost anybody. If you caught six, you
are a genius.
There is no catch. Many people forget the OFs. The brain of English
speaking people tend to see them as "V's" instead of "F's".
